46 yrs. ago
Forty-six years ago tonight...whew! long time gone. i was only 8 yrs. old this night, these old hippies would have scared the hell out of me then, but
...
now i can imagine them as fresh faced boys up on stage. a lot of undiscovered country for me here in this excellent recording, great sound, lots of Pig and its just a treat to be able to hear some old familiar tunes before they blossomed into more familiar friends. ya have to give it five stars just for being able to look into this portal of time.

What about Keith?
gruUbic wrote (in the most streamed copy): "So good... RIP Pig RIP Jerr RIP Brent RIP Vince Gonna be one heck of a show at St Peter's gate when we all

get up (or down??) there -- PEACE" Normally, I wouldn't mention those others in the same breath as Garcia and Pigpen, but since you did, what about Keith? (Those other two never played on the same stage with Pigpen)

Fabulous, high-energy show
One of the best of year. Tight playing and vocals, (with some strong Pigpen songs), and lots of up-tempo renditions. One of the best Beat It On Down the
...
Line's of any year, with Pigpen's keyboard driving a frenetic pace. Great Jerry jams on Creampuff War and Dancing in the Streets (a long jam with the end cut off, alas), Same Thing, and Smokestack. The Same Thing starts slow and speeds up to a quick-paced Jerry/Pigpen guitar/keyboard jam. Smokestack Lighting is down and dirty blues, smoky and moody, harp and guitar -- the first time Dead played it, according Deadbase -- which slips into a slower King Bee, which has the feel of Hendrix' Voodoo Child. Man, oh, man. Back up tempo with Midnight Hour (18-minute rap), faster than later renditions.

The GD featuring "the Charles Atlas of the psychedelic set"
Slight background hiss, and the occasional snap crackle or pop, but otherwise clear SBD. No radio interruptions but warning: the otherwise excellent version
...
of Dancin' here gets cut off about 8 minutes in to Jerry's first solo. Listenable if you can tolerate some defects. The more a fan of Pigpen you are the more you'll like this recording, because he's lively and animated, leading the band on 5 of the 12 songs. Jerry and Pig team up for an amazing Smokestack, and it sounds more like Howling Wolf's original version. There is a musical transition to King Bee, with the psychedelic playing style of Jerry, on the Guild Starfire, twanging and ringing out loud and clear.
